BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to portable baby sleep systems,specifically to baby beds and accessories which are transportable.

2. Description of the Related Art

Generally, babies need about 16 to 18 hours of sleep a day. Adequatesleep is important for babies because sleep typically affects mood,behavior, cognitive functioning, and other development. However, babiesoften experience difficulty in sleeping.

One cause of this difficulty is that baby beds and bedding generally donot provide the feelings of comfort and reassurance that contact andcuddling with a mother provides. For example, babies are often comfortedand reassured by recognition of a mother's heartbeat and breathingpatterns. In addition, babies are often comforted and reassured by amother's rocking of the baby in her arms.

Accordingly, blankets and other bedding are often equipped with deviceswhich simulate a heartbeat and other sleep inducing effects for babies.Some improvements have been made in the field. Examples include but arenot limited to the references described below, which references areincorporated by reference herein:

U.S. Pat. No. 4,934,997, issued to Skakas, discloses a therapeuticinfant bed intended for hospital use in the treatment and prevention ofinfant apnea. The bed comprises a hammock-forming sheet of materialhaving one surface thereof covered with a soft tactile material. Thehammock-forming sheet of material includes means for attaching a sonicdevice for generating audible sounds and a mechanical vibrationalimpulses simulating a human heartbeat thereto and for causing theaudible sounds and mechanical vibrational impulses to be transmittedthrough the sheet and the support structure to an infant disposed in thebed. A support structure is provided which has raised, spaced end memberdefining an open space therebetween. The hammock-forming sheet ofmaterial is horizontally suspended between the end members with the onesurface facing up between the end members, within the open space, andabove a surface upon which the support structure is sitting to form ahammock having spaced head and foot ends and spaced sides between whichan infant can be placed. Rocking means are operably attached to thesupport structure for supporting the support structure on a planarsurface and for slowly and gently rocking the support structureprimarily only in a horizontal plane. In the preferred embodiment, therocking means comprises a plurality of spring suspension members selfactivated by the infant's movements and disposed under the supportstructure.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,205,811, issued to Fornarelli, discloses the infantblanket is of the comforter type and includes therein a foam form havingcavity therein within which a heartbeat simulator rests. The simulatoris preferably pressure activated and access to same is provided by meansof a zipper strategically placed in one surface of the blanket.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,816,910, issued to Steele et al., discloses a portablyapparatus for soothing infants to enable them to fall asleep utilizes aportable housing having a cylindrically-shaped intake and exhaustopening coupled by a hollow cylindrical tube into which is located aminiature motor disposed proximate the intake opening with fan bladesaffixed on the rotating motor shaft that provides an air flow over aplurality of flexible members disposed proximate the exhaust opening. Acontrol arrangement, coupled to a battery power source, is disposedwithin the housing for controlling the amount of forced air flowing outof the exhaust opening so that the tone or the sounds meaning from theapparatus can be controlled.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,357,642, issued to Clute, discloses an infant supportpillow with a vibration inducer such as an audio emitter including twopad members defining a channel sized for supporting an infant generallyon its side while sleeping. One of the pad members is structured forremovably housing a electrically powered audio emitter. The audioemitter is structured for emitting a generated sound preferably similarto those sounds experienced by the infant when in the womb, and therebypromoting sleep.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,066,072, issued to Cummins, discloses a comfort cushionfor infants comprising in combination a fluid filled flexible elastichermetically sealed infant supporting mattress; a pulsating fluid pumpmeans having mattress inlet and outlet fluid conducting conduitscommunicating between the pump means and the mattress for circulating asubstantially non-compressible fluid through the mattress; and an infantheart beat and breathing alarm means having sensor means embedded in amattress infant supporting surface for actuating an alarm means externalto the mattress if an infant supported on the mattress were to stopbreathing or its heart were to stop beating or if either breathing orheart beat were to change such as to indicate peril to the infant. Themattress inlet conduit has a pressure activated valve within themattress which opens at a pre-selected pressure to simulate sounds andfluid movement conditions a pre-born infant experiences.

The inventions heretofore known suffer from a number of disadvantages,which include: not being adaptable; not being easily contained; beingdifficult to use; having inadequate simulation; being expensive; and/ornot being transportable.

The scope of the invention is,therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoingdescription. All changes which come within the meaning and range ofequivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.

For example, the storage container 146 may be any container appreciatedin the art configured to store baby accessories, such as, but notlimited to: a compartment; a box; a pocket; and a pouch. Similarly, thecontrol module 302 may be any control module appreciated in the artconfigured to control the provision of sound by the speaker module 124.For example, the control module 302 may include: a compact disc player;a portable media playing device; a cassette player; a mini disc player;an On/Off switch; and/or a dial, such as a volume control dial.Accordingly, the speaker module 124 may provide rhythmic sounds, such asthe sound of a heartbeat, and/or music.

Additionally, although the figures illustrate the left base flap 136 andthe right base flap 140 removably coupled to the left attachment portion128 and the right attachment portion 132 of the flexible mattress member106, the left base flap 136 and the right base flap 140 may be removablycoupled to the wall member 104. It is also envisioned that the basemember 102, the wall member 104, the flexible mattress member 106, andthe top cover portion 200 may be removably be removably coupled by anyremovably coupling mechanism appreciated in the art. For example, thebase member 102, the wall member, the flexible mattress member, and thetop cover portion 200 may be removably coupled by: hook and loop;adhesion; magnetic attraction; tying; hooking; snapping; buttoning;and/or sliding and locking.

It is expected that there may be numerous variations of the design ofthis invention. For example, the transportation mode 201 of the portablebaby sleep system 100 may be any shape appreciated in the art, such as,but not limited to: rectangular and tubular. Also, in one embodiment ofthe invention, the design of the portable baby sleep system 100 may besuch as the portable baby sleep system of U.S. Design patent applicationNo. 29275134, filed on Dec. 14, 2006, by Laurie Leslie Groves, which isincorporated by reference herein.

Finally, it is envisioned that the components of the portable baby sleepsystem 100 may be constructed of a variety of materials. For example,the portable baby sleep system may be constructed of materials, such as,but not limited to: plastic; textiles; metal; and/or rubber.

Thus, while the present invention has been fully described above withparticularity and detail in connection with what is presently deemed tobe the most practical and preferred embodiment of the invention, it willbe apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that numerousmodifications, including, but not limited to, variations in size,materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly anduse may be made, without departing from the principles and concepts ofthe invention as set forth in the claims.
